    Good evening everybody (It's evening here...)

    I live in Africa - I was just wondering if anybody on this forum lives (or comes from) Africa - the home of Durban Poison and Swazi.

    I read somewhere in this forum that somebody was having trouble with a cat eating his / her weed. In Africa, we don't have that problem - we have more of a problem with the lions and giraffes eating the ****. EVER SEEN A STONED LION? Not pretty.

    Just joking.

    Hi Octoberbuds.


    The laws here are basically the same as in the states - I have to grow in secret for fear of the fuz. Bit of a bummer really.


    Interesting that there doesn't seem to be any other African user on this forum. Not too many people in Africa have access to the internet I guess. Except for our Nigerian friend starfleetcommand. At least he isn't asking for me to send him a light, or a pot, or some other ridiculous thing.


    Anyhow - thanks for the responses, and keep well.


    Jim.

    Thanks for all the replies.


    MisSativa, what's wrong with "the fuzz"? Don't you watch movies? Never mind what you might think about the use, it just sounds cool.


    The one thing I do know about "the the true problems associated with Marijuana cultivation and possession in Africa", is that you are in just as much trouble as anywhere else in the world - (with the exception being the Netherlands). The thing about Africa is that the people are generally so worried about politics and poverty that not too much attention can be given to anything else. The one thing that is perhaps worse, are the jails. I was in Zambia for 6 months some time ago. Do you know that they don't even feed you in that countries' jails. I'm not sure if the reason is policy or funding, but if you don't have family or friends that can bring you food, you will most likely die of hunger.


    Anyhow, it just very interesting to see that there is nobody from this whole continent here. A shame actually.


    You know we just about never get snow (except on the really high mountains), the temperature is always in the region of 50 to 94F (10 to 34 deg C), and there are vast patches of uncultivated, even untouched lands.


    If you ever visit Africa, I suggest you take at least 2 - 3 days and visit Swaziland. Green mountain ranges everywhere, rivers and streams crawling amongst them. It is a beautiful place. The people are all very friendly.


    You could grow weed enough in this place to supply the world. Unfortunately I am not exactly that industious, but I do think it would be possible.


    Wawona, thanks for the message. Perhaps we can open up some cultural discussion right here - educate the people about Africa. Although not everybody will like to read it, there must be at least some people who would be interested in reading it. Let's not go into the whole poverty and suffering thing too much tho - that is covered widely enough in the press.


    Regards,


    Jim.
